Did my R6S fork mod and shinko raven tires

I'd like to know how the smaller front tire works over the long term.

I've never been able to get on the outside 3/4" of the front tires, even with the rear tire fully leaned. But I look at any other sport bike and their front tires are worn to the edge!

Also with the manual tensioner how did you tune it? I can't seem to find a sweetspot. Too loose and it idles like crap, too tight and the camchain noise is really loud.

I did hand tight and 1/4 turn worked great

Yes r6 fender and hyper pro progressive springs handles awesome turns fast.

^^ Thanks!

So what rate did you end up using here and why did you go with progressive rates? Also, did you ever try the stock R6 springs?

IIRC the R6s are single rate/fixed rate. Is that not true of the R6?

Thanks again. . .

Stock springs were good. But got progressive springs because bike is heavier than a r6. Hyperpro did not have spring rate choice
